The Badgers, fresh off their first Final Four appearance under Ryan and expected to be ranked in the top five of the 2014-'15 preseason polls, are set to host the Blue Devils again.

UW announced Thursday that the Badgers will play Duke at the Kohl Center on Wednesday, Dec. 3, the third and final night of the challenge. The time and broadcast information have not been determined.

"We're excited to welcome Duke back to the Kohl Center," Ryan said in a school release. "I've known Mike Krzyzewski for a long time and have a lot of respect for him and his program.

"Excuse the play on words, but this will be a challenging matchup for us. We always try to put together a tough non-conference schedule that will get us ready for Big Ten play, and this certainly fits that category.

"We have tremendous fans that fill the Kohl Center every game and it's exciting to be able to reward them with a another big-time matchup like this."

UW suffered a 74-73 loss to Kentucky in the national semifinals to finish 30-8. The Badgers return seven of their top eight players. Duke saw its season end with a stunning second-round loss to Mercer and finished 26-9.

The Blue Devils are losing Jabari Parker and Rodney Hood to the NBA but welcome a star-studded recruiting class led by center Jahlil Okafor and point guard Tyus Jones.

This will mark the third meeting between UW and Duke. The Blue Devils won the first meeting, 82-58, in the 2006-'07 season in Durham, N.C.

Monday, Dec. 1
